Hi all,
TL;DR: let's disable non-deterministic failing unit tests while they are
being fixed.
---
We have a small number of non-deterministic test failures that are
causing false-negatives when jenkins builds master or builds a PR branch.
Clearly we should fix these tests (either re-writing them to avoid
non-determinism, or fixing whatever underlying bug it is exposing).
However, I think we need a pragmatic short-term solution to get our
jenkins build being reliable+believable asap. We've been living with the
occasional jenkins build failure for far too long!
I've created:
* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-272
* https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-server/pull/147
The issue tracks the failing tests, and the PR disables them, marking
them in testng as:
@Test(groups={"WIP", "Non-deterministic-failure"})
Thoughts?
